LAUT AAYA MAI BINA KUCH KAHE

JESUS

don't swim

BLOW
Slow
And
Painful

Your words.
Like a wild forest fire...

Today you are silent
I fall apart...

She Came Back

SHE CAME BACK HOME
AND FOUND THAT EVERYONE HAD SHRUNK!
SHE WOKE UP
AND FOUND HERSELF IN THE BOOK SHE HATED THE MOST!
SHE WOKE UP
AND COULD HEAR THE POLICE SIRENS
THE SMALL BULLETS
HITTING HER SHOULDERS LIKE DRIZZLING RAIN
SHE WOKE UP AND WENT BACK HOME

I saw the Purple People Eater say-
You and your silly monkey don't even know what we are wageing this war for?
To find the sum of happiness thats what!
I did not know what to say...
I never knew Purple People eaters were deep thinkers too!
I sighed...
Me and the silly monkey ahev always been bad at Maths.

I saw the Purple People Eater say-
"You and your silly monkey do not go home from the zoo!?"
It was the strangest day.
I didn't know People Eaters could talk.
At least that silly monkey was reading a good book.

The days are insensitively inactive
not a ray of sun has entered the room for months
the initial dependence on light is gone
perceptions are clear
for they are selective now
a cold peace is smothering the mind silently


like a drop of ink on blotting paper
melting butter on a hot pan
or better yet
locust attacking a field

the bed is damp
floor slippery
the food on the white ceramic plate still untouched
glass of water , under suspicion


almost everyone has been here to see me

he is dead
and I sit in a corner
writing poems of protest

Lesson : Table manners

Pick up the pieces

orange juice
for breakfast

morning sun
fall apart for lunch
over a cigarette

mute photograph
silent dinner

walk away
gray monster
has your social life for dinner
